For students with children, access to high-quality, reliable child care is a critical component of success, giving parents peace of mind that their children are growing and learning while they are too. Recognizing the challenges on parents pursuing post-secondary education, Ivy Tech and Indiana’s Office of Early Childhood and Out-of-School Learning have joined forces to provide eligible Ivy Tech students with streamlined access to child care assistance.

About the Program

Through a partnership with Indiana’s Office of Early Childhood and Out-of-School Learning, Ivy Tech students who need child care assistance and meet Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) eligibility guidelines will qualify for streamlined access to child care assistance vouchers.
